What you read is correct, this is the new puduraya...

But dont get your hopes up just yet..

This is just the 2nd floor..

Better things to come for dear old puduraya..

 

If you have read my previous post on Bukit Tinggi, you will know that my family and i have stayed at this apartment called Selesa Resort, which is not at Bukit Tinggi itself, but about 10 minutes drive away. Affordable and spacious.. That is how i would describe this hotel.. Check out the 2 rooms below..

 

I'm sure everyone will want to know.. about the toilet! Especially you girls.. Well, it was ok.. If you are a super neat freak you might not like it.. I wasnt difty or anything.. but old? Like the were little stains here and there but for me.. its was okay.. for the price we paid, it was quite awsome.. especially since we were in a group of 8... Anyway, a pic below to explain..

We were particularly happy about the kitchen, coz it meant we could spend a lot of family time, cooking simple and tasty food.. there were shops about 3 minutes away by car as well as many shops if you rather eat out.. But dont walk, its really dark and lone, drive with company as well.. It seemed to me like a cool adventure though.. not your typical prim and proper hotel, u know?

I dont have to talk about how big is the living.. you can practically fit another 10 people in there.. it has a nice green scenary, as well as other simple family activities.. Like the river beach which can accomodate picnics and outdoor activities. They also accept reservations for company retreats and functions..
 

Btw, the river was awesome!

Hey travel birds! How yall doin? Good i hope! You might wonder why i have not been updating and going travelling so often now.. well.... i'm working now.. bummer i know! but hey.. gotta make the money to travel to more exotic places right? Haha.. see, there's always a positive in everything :D

Anyways, this was around Christmas year 2009. My family went for  short trip. We wanted to go somewhere near, affordable and nice. First bet was Port Dickson.. I didn't mind since i haven't been there in a while.. but i was in the mood for something different! Plus, i just got fairer from the beautiful breeze in Singapore, didn't wanna get all tanned up again :P Such a girl, i Know..

Anyway, this was only like 40mins away from where i live. The hotels at Bukit Tinggi itself were damned expensive so we booked an apartment 10 minutes away called Selesa Resort.

It wasn't bad.. If you have a car to drive up to Bukit Tinggi, Selesa is definitely the affordable solution. The apartment had 2 rooms, 1 kitchen, 1 balcony and a huge living room! Other activities at the hotel include swimming, golfing, camping, snooker and ping pong.. Simple family activity i would say..

Bukti Tinggi itself was quite good.. French and Italian restaurants, beautiful scenery, carnivals and so forth. Perfect place for the family and a bunch of friends looking for a simple weekend holiday..

One thing though, the Japanese Spa costs like RM500 per treatment and its never open! So if you wanna go there just to experience the spa, please look elsewhere.. The Japanese botanical garden is OK to me.. nothing really great considering all the uphill walking we had to do, but hey, got some good pictures!.. But given a choice, i would visit Cafe Del Mar rather than the Japanese botanical..

Enjoy the slideshow!

Many of you have been asking me to update on my recent travel.. why have i taken so long.. well, here's the story.. i always make a checklist for every where i go.. i cannot live without certain things so this checklist is essential to me..

Just as i was about to leave, i realise that my camera battery was low, so i put a mental note to charge it in the hotel.. guess what.. i get to the hotel, my charger.. was.. not.. IN.. MY.. BAG!!!

I sobbed for days and even lost interest in sight seeing.. but moved on and had fun after that.. so... long story short, i cant really blog on my trip coz people need to SEE what i'm talking about.. without pictures, my blog is practically useless :P

I shall not make the same mistake for Bali, 100% positive.

So sorry guys, i know you were all looking forward to the posts and pictures.. i make it up to you during my trip to Bali aight.. muah!!

I've got tons of udpdates to get started on.. on top of that, tons of other work to do! Can someone give me their 24 hours so i can have more time? Pweese? :P

Anyway.. My uncle has set up a taxi service! Yeay! He does trips to the airport, i.e. KLIA and even trips to other parts of Malaysia.. His name is Gilbert, nice and friendly guy with a smirky smile and sense of humor to go along!

Get his number and call him to drive you anywhere you want kay? :D

Hey everyone! Finally i have time to update this blog.. Anyway.. what can i say about Bencoolen hotel? My mom stays here every time she visits me in Singapore.. We choose this location simply because of its location, free parking, clean hotels and friendly staff.

Location - its near to a bus stop, walking distance to doby ghaut MRT, walking distance to bugis and many other spots..

Free Parking - If you drive to Singapore, you can park your car at the hotel and take a bus around, you know, experience Singapore the sporean way..

Clean Hotels - as you can see the pics below, although the hotel room is small, its a practical clean room.. if you don't mind confined spaces, for about S$150, this hotel is quite a catch!

I was totally amazed that such a hotel was at Bukti Bintang at such a cheap price.. the hotel was nice, clean and STRATEGIC!! Imagine just 3 mins walk away to Bintang Walk..

If you wanna make a trip to KL, Bukit Bintang especially, get a room at Replica Inn..

Park your car next to the hotel and walk along the strips of clubs and pubs, bars and cafe and have your nights of fun! i know i wanna do something like this sometime soon!
